Footings in before the freeze

Workers waded through mud as Rudenick’s Concrete Pumping of Staples poured concrete footings for the Lakewood Health System addition on Nov. 30. The new addition will add physician offices, exam rooms and procedure rooms. It will also allow for development of a mental health area. The $20 million project also includes expansion of the clinic in Pillager. (Staples World photo by Mark Anderson)
